I do not quite remember all of the beginning so I'll give some pics w/a narrative . I decided to try to build (what I have seen thus far) what has not been done . so far it is a great success
![]() the scaling of pics and design and pattern making , starts with a parts book and some general knowledge of compacity range as it's difficult to acquire data for these old machines . all motor scrapers have a basic shape and size according to bowl compacity . So I figured out the comparable machine in another bran such as a cat 637 to get the general dimensions . basically using the tire size to finesse the design ![]() the patterns ![]() the 5th wheel ![]() the cut plates waiting to be welded ![]() the next few pics are of the assembly . now scrapers are heavy so are these by design ![]() ![]() the bowl assembly ![]() ![]() the goose neck ![]() ![]() ![]() 5th wheel and goose neck ![]() some cab and sheet metal ![]() ![]() grill ![]() drive train HPI savage diffs anhime automation gear motors tried as a single speed great for loading but slow as **** for travel so playing with traxxas e-maxx 2 speed manual trans ![]() ![]() ![]() running out off room to be continued ![]() |

Thanks for the info-I gave up on the mining truck I wanted to build because I couldn't find the correct size tires.

Tom, Why don't you try to cast some tires from silicone? If you could come up with the right size you probably could sell some to others in the same situation. What dimensions are you looking for?

I grew up with IH construction equipment and really enjoy seeing your scrapers. What truck are you considering?

I agree the construction tire issue is not very good here ...Wonder if the rock crawler parts supplier that makes the scale rig tires could be talked into making a few different versions ..Im sure the are a few guys on here the know him personaly .
THe scrapers are looking good steve...looks like you have the drive pretty well figured out with tons of power to load ..Are you planning to add a second gear as well? |
